Directions

Description - Step 1

Prep the dhokla

Take 400 g dhokla cubes and gently press them through a strainer using a spatula to release excess moisture. Lightly crumble and fluff them. Then, transfer the soft, airy dhokla into a large mixing bowl.

 

Description - Step 2

Chop and add the vegetables

Dice the cucumber, carrot, slice onions, and chop capsicum, green chillies, and coriander. Add all the chopped veggies into the dhokla bowl. 

 

Description - Step 3

Prepare the vinaigrette

Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup or honey, minced or pressed garlic, salt, and ground black pepper. Blend until smooth and slightly emulsified.

 

Description - Step 4

Toss the salad

Pour the vinaigrette over the dhokla and veggie mixture and gently toss to coat without crushing the fluffy texture. Ensure every bite gets a nice balance of flavours.

Description - Step 5

Finish & serve

Top the salad with 2 to 3 tablespoons of thin nylon sev just before serving. Serve immediately for the best texture and freshness.
